I read the Hellcat Challenger will drain the 18.5 gallon tank in 13 minutes at WOT!

It would be worth it. Sign me up for a couple of tank fulls.

This is for bbsam, BSWALKS and Barnyard. I haven't changed gearing on mine, but I've done pretty much all the other things for tuning. Totally agree on the handling and the flipped eccentric.

I get 230 miles per tank regularly and haven't run out yet.

Introducing the new Hellcat CHARGER. A more "practical" way for your friends to enjoy the 707 horses.

Be safe. Keep your eyes moving! Watch out for as sholes, because they won't see you!

A healthy amount of paranoia well serve you well.

Have fun. What's really scary is my wife passed hers 2 years ago and she is 60+. So far I have been able to limit her to a 150cc scooter that does about 60-------but she is hinting she wants something bigger------(scooter that is).

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Good luck with that. You always itch for more and there's a lot left on the table yet. As soon as your skills catch up with the equipment, you look for more. When my 650 failed to scare me any more I went looking.

Excellent choice. I tried an S model, but it gave me cramps.

Agree. Nice starter bike.
I'd like a bike like yours, but I'm afraid of that kind of speed. I'd be in trouble all the time.

The trouble with Deal's Gap is it's becoming a victim of it's own popularity. It's a zoo on weekends so I hear.

All it takes is one little pebble on the road and he's history. Foolish.
